Western Australian members I need an "L" Series flywheel, throw out bearing, pressure plate, cable and pedal and friction disc. For my brumby 5 speed conversion. As I'm unemployed I'm doing this on a budget, so donations would be great.

I may even have something in my shed you need if you want to barter.

If your using an ea81 engine,just use ea81 flywheel, pressure plate assy and throwout bearing, with a starter spacer. Use the 5 speed plate but.
Throwout bearings are the interchangeable from memory, rebuildable cast steel for ea81, sealed unit for 5 speed.

Yeah I know about this way of doing it ... what about the clutch cable?

The other way to do it is as per Jonno's post here use the original Brumby flywheel, get the step machined from 23mm to 21mm and use all L series clutch kit including pressure plate and throwout bearing. This is the way I did it and it works great...well the few times I've reversed up and down the driveway that is I've used the L series clutch cable as well, and L series clutch pedal fitted to MY pedal box, to keep the pedal throw and effort required reasonable.

This way you don't have to mix and match clutch kit parts; just machine the flywheel and use all L series stuff Although if it is a tight budget then machining the flywheel might not be an option, unless you have a friend with a big lathe who can be bought with beer like I did

Thanks Sam I know what is required ... just easier in my situation to get all L series parts and bolt them in.
